HALLOWEEN. 2000 YEARS AGO.

     About 2000 years ago, people called Celts lived in Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Their new year began on November 1st., so October 31st. was New Year´s Eve. The Celts believed that ghosts and witches walked the earth on October 31st. These spirits terrified the Celts, so they dressed up in costumes so the spirits wouldn´t recognize them. For the Romans, November 1st. was a holiday called 'All Hallows' and October 31st. was 'All Hallows E´en' (evening) or 'All Hallows´ Eve'.
